Playstation Vita thread

By the time Nintendo's next console is released, I'll probably around 60 retail Wii U games on my shelf. I love collecting for it.

I'd say the Wii U also has a wider range in it's library; if you pick a random gamer off the street you can find a Wii U game they'll like, but it's less likely to find a Vita game they'd like.

I agree. The Wii U has a little something for everyone; the Vita had a lot of something for a few people.

Vita tends to appeal more to a certain type of gamer, sure - but it's doing an incredible job of appealing to that niche audience despite being written off by Sony. I can respect that even if the games don't all appeal to me.


Looking at the late PSP lifecycle, this probably shouldn't be a surprise though. That system also provided a ton of great late releases that were really targeting a small group of people. Heck, it just a really awesome release with TitS SC.

Anyway, the point remains: both systems are pretty awesome.

Nice. I'll probably top out somewhere around 40 games for Wii U and 20 games for Vita. (Vita number would be considerably higher if PSTV compatibility wasn't super restrictive, or if my budget for gaming was higher.)

Not sure how many games it takes to "justify" a console, but I can't feel bad about these purchases.

Usually one game for me. But I make bad decisions with my money when it comes to video games. Although I do have a Hyperscan with no controller, games, or power cable...lol

Posted this in the PSN deals thread also but it fits here: A Boy and His Blob is $8.50 and it's PS4/Vita cross-buy. Love when the Vita gets these big PSN crossbuy releases, just like Grim Fandango Remastered.

I don't know why, but it kind of bums me out knowing that the Vita probably won't last too much longer :/ It still feels like it just came out recently to me. But then again, my time perception is pretty bad so... ._.

On a different note, has anyone played the full version of Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines? I remember trying the demo out and LOVED it, but I'm not really sure it continues to be good past that or not.

I don't think we will see another handheld from Sony immediately following the Vita

I also sincerely doubt that we will see another Sony dedicated-gaming-handheld. If anything, Sony might revisit the Xperia concept.

Dude, the Xperia never went away; Sony just dropped physical buttons...like practically all smartphone makers (except Blackberry). Sony still makes Xperia devices - both smartphones and tablets. They're "Playstation Certified," although what that means after the end of the Playstation mobile platform is unclear. Sony sells a mount (GCM10) to attach an Xperia device to a PS4 controller. They even do Vita tricks, like PS4 remote play.

I wasn't aware the Xperia still exists. But that's all the more reason we likely won't see a Vita successor then.

Oh, I certainly agree with you there. Sony is clearly more interested in Xperia than in making another PSP-esque handheld gaming platform.

I expect that Sony will concentrate on making the Playstation network viable on Xperia mobile devices. Xperia is Sony's mobile platform from here on out.
